Lengthy Big-Rig Chase In Stockton Ends With Arrest

STOCKTON (CBS13) – A bizarre drama played out on the streets of downtown Stockton Thursday morning when the driver of a stolen big rig led police on a slow-speed chase that lasted for hours.

The chase started just before 3:30 a.m. Thursday after CHP officers received a call that a big rig was dumping debris from its trailer in the roadway. Officers spotted the truck and tried to get the driver to pull over, but he drove away, touching off a low-speed chase through downtown streets lasting almost four hours.
